Get Involved

KFP serves as a statewide advocate of policies that will reduce the use of alcohol and other drugs by youth and promote healthy communities. KFP develops an annual advocacy agenda and enlists others in prevention to become active advocates. KFP has assisted in raising awareness about underage drinking and most recently, the loophole in Paul's Law, which the Kansas Legislature fixed during the 2007 Session.  KFP, along with other partners, also played an important role in the passage of keg registration legislation.

Family Day

Parent Corps

Kansas Family Partnership is one of nine states selected to participate in a pilot project designed to build the capacity of parents to reduce drug use by their children. The Parent Corps will recruit, train and certify parent leaders to educate and mobilize them in drug prevention and to create support networks within neighborhoods and schools throughout the nation.

Parents at Work

Research tells us that parents are the single most important factor in keeping their kids alcohol and drug-free. Since parents spend much of their time at work, employers can help share information that will help parents in their efforts to keep their kids free of alcohol and other drugs.
